mutation Flashcards
(12 cards)
what is discontinues mutaion?
discintinuse mutation is mostly related to wild type and the companion is called mutant.
what is compartmentalization?
The formation of cellular compartments is called compartmentalization.
enhancer?
In genetics, an enhancer is a short (50-1500 bp) region of DNA that can be bound by proteins (activators) to increase the likelihood that transcription of a particular gene will occur. These proteins are usually referred to as transcription factors.
inducer?
In molecular biology, an inducer is a molecule that regulates gene expression. An inducer can bind to protein repressors or activators. Inducers function by disabling repressors. The gene is expressed because an inducer binds to the repressor. … RNA polymerase can then begin to transcribe operon genes.
independent assortment?
he Principle of Independent Assortment describes how different genes independently separate from one another when reproductive cells develop.
autosomal recessive?
Autosomal recessive is one of several ways that a trait, disorder, or disease can be passed down through families. An autosomal recessive disorder means two copies of an abnormal gene must be present in order for the disease or trait to develop.
Co-dominance?
Co-dominance is a relationship between two versions of a gene. Individuals receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. If the alleles are different, the dominant allele usually will be expressed, while the effect of the other allele, called recessive, is masked
incomplet dominance?
Incomplete dominance is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele for a specific trait is not completely expressed over its paired allele. This results in a third phenotype in which the expressed physical trait is a combination of the phenotypes of both alleles
Non-cyclic Electron Transport ?
Non-cyclic Electron Transport in Photosynthesis. Photophosphorylation refers to the use of light energy to ultimately provide the energy to convert ADP to ATP, thus replenishing the universal energy currency in living things.
peroxisome?
a small organelle that is present in the cytoplasm of many cells and that contains the reducing enzyme catalase and usually some oxidases. make hydrogen peroxide.
x-inactivation?
X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated. The inactive X chromosome is silenced by its being packaged in such a way that it has a transcriptionally inactive structure called heterochromatin.
how fermentation form?
pyruvate is reduced to lactic and NADH is oxidized to DAD+. so the lactic acid is moved by blood to liver and convert the lactic to pyruvate and use the pyruvate is used to make ATP and that ATP is used to make a sugar called gluconeogenesis this process is use the sugar go back to the mussels and and muscle have on going energy.
